GACA Conversion Overview

The GACA Commercial Pilot Track is engineered specifically for students from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia aiming to join commercial airlines such as Saudia, flynas, flyadeal, and Riyadh Air.

The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) requires pilots who complete training abroad to satisfy exact hourly and cross-country criteria prior to taking conversion examinations in Jeddah or Riyadh. Our curriculum guarantees all FAA certificates (PPL, Instrument, CPL Single & Multi-Engine) are completed in full alignment with GACA Section 61 airman conversion mandates.
